They can easily be muscled out of prime hunting locations by dint of their smaller size compared with the largest apex predators. This is not helped by the fact that the diet of coyotes and wolves often converge. Like all species, these animals are affected by human activity. Hunting is ...
This urban coyote, to me, is a little strange looking. The other 9-month olds that I know do not look quite like this (see photos below). I’m not sure I can say exactly *how* he looks different — possibly he’s just a little bit compressed or stunted in size? But maybe I’m...
The ubiquitous coyote is found throughout North America from eastern Alaska to New England and south through Mexico to Panama. It originally ranged primarily in the northwest corner of the US, but it has adapted readily to the changes caused by human occupation and, in the past 200 years, ha...
I myself, and several other people I’ve spoken to, have encountered a similar type of behavior towards human. In my case, it occurred because the coyote noticed I was focused on him: he wanted to asses what my intentions were:https://coyoteyipps.com/2023/11/03/testing-feints-and-zoom...
Also, Mitchell included human imitations of coyotes in his study. When compared to recordings of real coyotes, these human calls “generated similar levels of approach responses,” he found. So don’t be afraid to do your own calling if the e-caller isn’t making it happen. The Basics ...
The fire in this video was nothing compared to the catastrophic fires occurring in Los Angeles right now, but it shows you a little of their behavior on a much smaller scale, and I think it’s a good time to share it. Coyotes are very aware of even small changes in their environment....
However, this may not get rid of the coyote sometimes. It may continue to approach you. In this case, walk back slowly. And move towards buildings or human activity. Dog spray is also a good tool to get rid of them. If you’re visiting areas with coyotes, carry a dog spray along....
cats were associated with Satan, and they were systematically slaughtered, a decimation hypothesized to have contributed to the spread of the Black Plague. This disease, carried by rats and their fleas, killed approximately one-third of the human population of Europe and changed the course of ...
Local population densities were slightly higher, and survival rates for pups were five times higher compared to rural populations. In contrast to demographic patterns, behavioral responses to urbanization, including home range size, avoidance of developed land cover, activity budget, and diet, were ...
When compared to the available observations, the model describes the ocean temperature rise and variability well.” I wrote in response: [Note the first and last sentences of this paragraph] First, that there is not sufficiently extensive and accurate observational data to test a hypothesis. BUT,...
